Damon Wayans Sr. Discusses Dating Nephew's Ex-Girlfriend

During an appearance on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast, Damon Wayans Sr. revealed that he once dated his nephew's ex-girlfriend and fell in love with her shortly after his divorce in 2001. He defended his actions, stating that his nephew was never truly in love with the woman, which he felt justified his pursuit. Wayans humorously recounted his conversation with his nephew, who ultimately gave him the green light to proceed with the romance. However, he acknowledged that this relationship has led to some awkward moments at family gatherings, as the Wayans family is known for its close-knit dynamics. The discussion drew comparisons to the Jackson family, where similar romantic entanglements have occurred. Despite the potential for tension, Wayans emphasized the importance of family collaboration in his career.
